We believe that the universe is expanding.
The universe is currently expanding, as evidenced by the Hubble Constant, which indicates that the greater distance a star is from an observer, the faster that star is receding away from the observer. This Hubble Constant holds true for all observers, no matter where they might rest in the universe, and the Hubble Constant applies to all stars in all directions of the sky for each observer.

At the moment, the present observations show that the Universe is expanding.

In many years to come, that may slow and show that the Universe might well be contracting, but to date, the Universe is expanding and the current calculations show that it will continue to do so........ Watch this space.

The universe is expanding (detectable by a red-shift in the apparent color of the stars) and, current evidence tells us that the universe is actually speeding up as it expands, counter-intuitive to most models of the universe.

It has yet to be seen if the universe contracts. Evidence suggests it is expanding at the moment. Red shift etc.
